Homework for Básico 1

As you all know I'll be away for two weeks, but I don't want you to get bored at home until 12th March when we will start with the lessons again. So I thought it would be a good idea to read a book. It must be a graded reader and the level elementary. Don't forget your library card to borrow a book next day!
Enjoy your "holidays"!

In short. Homework for Básico 1, read a graded book level elementary. You can borrow (tomar prestado) it from the class library.

Present simple or present continuous?
